Reviews
I found everyone in the practice to be very caring and they had no problems taking as much time as necessary to address any concerns I had. Dr. Akerman himself took great care of me and I would highly recommend him.
Dr. Akerman is great Highly recommend him.
Dr. Akerman has worked closely with me on a number of procedures to determine the cause of my ongoing symptoms. He has been detailed and quick to move forward as we obtained new info. Dr. Akerman was able to determine I had a malignant tumor of my Liver and immediately referred me to the appropriate Care Team to address this serious matter. Thanks to Dr. Akerman we caught this problem in its early stage and I now have an abundance of optimism that I can be cured. Dr. Akerman has truly provided life-changing healthcare for me and I am clearly blessed to have him as my Doctor.
Great experience, great people
Dr Akerman was very great at his explanation on everything, he calmed me down on having my first ever experience on being under anesthesia.
